Dog Name: Emmett Age: Around 2 Gender: Male Breed: Pit Weight: 78lbs Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Older kids-mouthy & doesn’t know his size Vaccinated: Yes Spayed/Neutered: Yes Heartworm: Negative Microchipped: Yes Energy level: Medium Emmett was never told he’s an almost 80lb pitbull & it shows. He walks around like a delicate flower, but truly has no idea that his head is the size of a bowling ball & his tail could knock a child down a set of stairs. He will sit on your lap like he’s a 10lb yorkie & have zero regrets when your leg falls asleep. Emmett has quickly become the neighborhood mascot. He wants to say hello to everyone, he pops his head into all the shops on our daily walk & never lets the neighbors take their garbage out without giving them a big slobbery kiss. Although Emmett’s size is not very puppy like, he is very much a big puppy. Naturally, he is still learning some things, like not to mistake your finger for a pupperoni. He can get a bit mouthy & overly excited from time to time. He may even steal your crocs when you look away for .5 seconds, but that’s just because he thinks they’re ugly & is doing you a favor. Besides some puppy antics, Emmett is extremely food motivated, listens to redirection & is a wonderful self entertainer. He sleeps like a baby in the crate & if you are relaxing, he will relax with you. Emmett is really just a big, goofy, happy go lucky kind of dog that wants to be around people, chew on a benebone & serve as neighborhood watch until he’s called off duty for a snack. He looks at you like you’re the best thing since sliced bread. He cuddles like a human. He will probably never let you use the bathroom, watch a show or eat alone again, but isn’t that what dogs are for? Even if he is a five stage clinger, Emmett is just a joy to be around & you can't help but love that sweet face. He would benefit from a home that doesn’t care if there is drool on the carpet, because big jowl problems. He walks nicely on a leash, but can be strong when he wants to be. Unless your kids come with bubble wrap around them, a home with older kids or teens would work best.
